It g has been a little more than a year since g ft whole field fell on an average of a a] little more than two feet. Within the past two weeks the ground has become w very dry from want of moisture," and ^ as result crevices, seme of which are a e. foot wide, have appeared in the earth. Eight miles south of here, in Douglae County, there is a very noticeable Bt depression of several inches, covering more than a section of land. Another ^ evidence of this inexplicable phenomena occurred in Texas County a day ^ or two ago, when a sadden sagging of p the earth swallowed up a horse while hitched to a plow, and it was with gl difficulty that the driver saved him- ^ self. Tfceee strange occurrences seem p to come around periodically with certain seasons, and although they have R. been the subject of investigation for ?< tecientific purposes, nobody is able to Vj advance a reasonable theory for the 9f existence of such a state of things.? ^ St. Louis Republic.

Few people ii 'hicago realize the scope and impor ance of this great National store. The interior of this six-story bricl uilding resembles a great wholesale ouse. From cellar to roof there are arrels and boxes and bags and caske nd crates in seemingly endless namer. The depot is in charge of Caplin Oskaloosa M.

The quality of food purchased foi 'ncle Sam's boys is excellent, and reat care is taken to 6ee that it is ail 1 first-class condition. The depot in llinois street is run in that systemac manner which characterizes overnmental operations. Great bags f green coffee lie piled half way to le ceiling, while sugar is there in jws of barrels and mountains of 100ound bag6. There are barrels of sail teats and smoked .meats, ham and aeon in 200-pound crates. Over in one corner is several thoumd dollars' worthjof tea, while on the oor below $10,000 worth of plug toacco lies in tiers of kits. Sirup and lolasses, soap and candles, rice and our, casee of canned and bottled oods, and half barrels of split peat bound. On each pile of goods haugs a tag ith the original number of bags 01 arrels or boxes marked on it When?er any are taken away the numbei i marked on the tag, so that it maj e seen in a moment just how the ock stands. The regular army mes3 is: Pork, aeon, beef, mutton, beef cattle, tish, our, corned beef, soft bread, hard read, cornmeal, beans, baked beans, eas, rice, hominy, potatoes, onions, euh vegetables, tomatoes, coffee, tea, igar, molasseB, sirup, vinegar, canles, soap, salt, pepper and baking owder. A good cook will alternate iese articles, and jumble them up in ppetizing mixtures 60 that the grub" of the soldier is generally ol iriod form. The proportion of meats >rved is seven days fresh meat and iree days salt. The regular mess is paralleled in the rmy regulations by a long list of ar cles which the department Keeps foi lie to officers and men. These good: re all bought at the lowest consistenl rice and are sold to the men withoul rollt. The purchasing commissarj t frequent periods makes out a list ol rticles, with the ruling market price, d sends a copy to adjacent posts fo] ae officers to order from.

The army ration in this counry was established by an act of Apri 0, 1870. The first regular mess con isted of twelve ounces of pork 11 ixteen ounces of beef, sixteen ounce.1 f flour or bread, vinegar, candles oap, salt and one-half gill of rum randy or whisky. It is a peculia: act that it was not until 1S30 tha oflee and sugar were allowed. After 1835, when coffee and sugai rere made a part of the regular mess? urn, brandy and whipkv were madi n extra ration. That is, they wen upplied to tne soldiers when the offi ers deemed them necessary for thi reservation of health.

A Jttint in 1 lie Sea. Jn this gold seekiDg age, says tie London Lancet, the anEouncernent ? ; that sea water contains a fairly uni I form, though emu]], quantity of gold ' is sure to attract the interest of specue ! lators. This will be so especially when they learn that there exists in sohition in sea water many millions of tons of gold. Such would appear to L*j the case, according to Professor Liversedge, the Professor of Chemistry in b Sydney University. In a very remark7 able and exhaustive series of experi8 ments which ne has made there is con8 siderable evidence in favor of gold t being present in sea water off the New * South Wales coast in the proportion t of about, half to one grain per ton, or, . j 1 { -]qn oa() 1 in rouuu numucio, Jium w tons of go:d per cubic mile. This, of course, means an enormous amount ^ for the whole of the ocean, the cubic ? contents of which are put down ap> proximately at 400,000,000 cubicmiles, 1 and if the gold be uniformly present ' at the rate of one grain per tOD, the ' total amount would be over 100,000,' 000 tons of gold. If only a loadstone 1 for gold could be found which would | attraot gold and separate it from its * solution, doubtless a very important 1 i.v ^ I BUmUlUB WOU1U Ut) given IU IUD um| dend earning capacity of our ocean I liners. Thus, in addition to carrying passengers and cargo, they would plow the deep to reap a rich harvest each > passage by hanging a dredger astern, i which at the end of the voyage would ' be relieved of its auriferous and valu1 able collection. We fear, howevsr, ' that the precious metal will not be re> covered from the sea as easily as this, t considering its strong affinity for the talts of sea water. Otherwise, gold would soon cease to be a rare metal, and this fact would also place bimetallism in a very serious position. These > observations are not without some ' bearing on medicine, since recently the value of gold salts in therapeutics - has been recognized, and it cannot be doubted that the cheapening of gold ' \?ould lead to their appliances being I extended in this direction. Apart I from these considerations, Professor i Liversedge's investigation is an important contribution to the chemistry i and probably geology of the subject. i ?i 1 Teutonic Calm on a'State Occasion. ' Governor Thomas T. Crittenden, ' who succeeded Phelps in the exeeu[ tive chair, was inaugurated in January, 1881, with more ceremony and inns loan any oiaer uuv ;iuui smuc the war. There were military and ! bands galore, and special trainloads of people came from Kansas City and St. , Louis to witness the pageant. The . military features were in charge of Captain Hawley, of St. Louis, who was ' grand marshal of the day. Brockmeyer, who as Lieutenant-Governor, [ was presiding over the Senate, was lolling back in his chair on the Picsi[ dent's stand, smoking a cob pipe and awaiting notice of the time for tho Senate to proceed to the hall of the ! House of Representatives, where the two bodies in joint session were to receive the new Governor, and the inauguration would be consummated. The Senate lobby was crowded and the Senators were in their seats, on the tiptoe of expectancy, for martial strains could be heard on the outside. At this junctnrc a figure in a glitter' inc and brilliant unifoim pushed 1 through the crowd and inarched half 1 way up the aisle. It was Marshal of 1 the Day Hawley. JJrawinc; his sword ; he made a military salute, and pom' pously announced: "Mr. President, the Governor of Missouri and his btaff now aD? 1 proaches." | ' Without removing his pipe from his mouth, Brockmeyer replied: ' "Veil, let him coom; dot is what [ we are here for." ; When the laugh had subsided the ' Senate proceeded to the House and c the inauguration was completed.? ^ .Kansas City Times. Photographing: a Splash. j Professor Worthington has been j studying a curious phenomenon for [ twenty years, says Knowledge. The . splash of a drop occurs in the twink. hng of an eye, yet it is an exquisitely 1 regulated phenomenon and one that . very happily illustrates some of the r fundamental properties of the fluid. 3 The problem that Professor Worthington has succeeded in solving is to let a drop of dehnite size fall from a r1 fixed height in comparative darkness t on to a surface and to illuminate it by a flash of exceedingly short duration r at any desired stage, so as to exclude all the stages previous and subsequent 2 to those thus selected. The many ilo lustrations in his volume testify to the . accuracy and beauty of his work. s The curious results of a splash of a 6 drop of mercury from a height of three inches upon a smooth glass plate e are particularly interesting. Very 6oon after the first minute rays are r shot out in all directions on the 6ur. face with marvelous regularity. From y the ends of the rays droplets of liquid split oCf. The liquid subsides in the middle and soon afterward flows into the ring. The ring then divides in Mich a manner as to join up the rays 7 in pairs. Thereafter the whole cont tracts till the liquid rise? in the ceiit tre, so as to form the rebound of the s drop from the plate. 1 ? Molasses as a Fertilizer. e The .Louisiana sugar planters hnve a not yet been able to solve the riddle of r Hie bestowal of their surplus molasses. 1 It is now pioposed to use it as a fero | tilizer. It in found that molasses can t be charred by waste heat in sugar !- i manufacture, and much reduced in i- weight, and i'ree from liability to e offensive or troublesome fermentation, d be easily auded to the soil as are com* d uiercial fertilizers. e | When iu this state it is devoid of ie | stickiuess, easy to handle and conic ' tains a lar.^e part of tbo mineral ferr. tili/.ers taken by the cane :rom the soil, as well a6 the lime used in clarifyi ins:. A temperature of 350 degrees ! Fahrenheit is sufficient to destroy the rt i objectional gurnminess, to expel nenrly r-' all the water and to so char tbe :0 i molasses that it is fit to return to the r- j 6oil. 3t is suggested that the sugar a- ! manufacturers can easily place a large r* j pipe in the waste heat of their lurnaces, re | for the charring of the molasses, filter s- ! jjress cake?, etc. kb | The mass would be removed by n r- i chain semper passing slowly through b- [ the pipe, and charred and dry and pulic ' verized, it would be ready for instant i and effective use as a fertilizer.

Timidity must no longer be a fashionable affection, for one of the very latest sooial fads demands bravery of a decided sort. Milking the cow is the latest pose assumed by young women, and it is one that requires a good deal in the way of background. In the first place the hostess must have a good sized country estate, with spacious lawns. Then she must give a lawn fete for charity, in which the chief and drawing attraction is the spectacle of young women milking cowh in the middle of the lawn.

The last new craze in Paris is said to be the wearing of a lighted lantern as a personal ornament. The fashion originated with a speculative manufacturer, whose "petites lanternes" were bought by tens of thousands at the fair at Neuilly. The lantern is very small and neat, and made in a Gothic form after an ! ancient model. It is only of tin, but is sufficiently solid, has well-fitted glass plates, is about the size of a walnut, burns for some hours and is sold at the price of six sous. Almost everybody who returned from the Neuilly Fair to Paris, as a correspondent tells us, looked as if he were outwardly symbolizing the midsummer saint, John the Baptist, "a burning and a shining light." The men and boys had the little lanterns in their hats and the ladies oarried them in their bouquets.?San Francisco Chronicle. Victoria's long reign. The Queen has not only outreigned all the sovereigns of Enrope who were on the throne when she succeeded, but Bhe has seen the end of sixteen reigns which began after hers. She has been contemporary with five sovereigns in Prussia, four in Bussia, and two in Austria. In the case of France, she has seen the reign of Louis Philippe, the republic of 1848, the empiie, and the republic of 1870. In the internal affairs of England she has witnessed little less than a revolution. When she came to the thrnno there were virtually no rail ways. Now there is hardly a village without a station within three or four : or four miles of it. But perhaps the greatest chang6 of all is in the condition of the people. Sixty years ago the man with a ?1 a week was exceptionally fortunate. Now ?1 week is getting to be regarded as the normal . rate of wages. And yet sixty years ' ugo the purchasing power of ?1 for a man who drank tea and smoked was about half what it is now.

No Queen in history has ever won so great | an amount of love and respect.?Lon don Spectator. INTENTION'S OF WOMEN. If yon send seventy-five cents to the Patent Office at Washington with the request that it forward yon a list of the women inventors to whom patents have been granted by the United States Government, yon will receive two eqaaro dove colored pamphlets containing the information that yon wish in duly anthorized form. The first pamphlet covers all the patents that, have been cranted to women np to July 1, 1888. The second pamphlet is an appendix extending from the latter date until the present. The patents are arranged in chronoljjustf^al order. Each page is divided into four lengthwise columns, headed as follows: Number of patent, name icd address of patentee, title of invention, and date when patent was issued. In this . zL _ ^ ___ way it is possible to learn that Mary Kies was the first woman- whose invention received the proper sanction of Uncle Sam; that her invention was Btraw weaving with silk or thread, and that it was patented on May 5, 1809. Mary Brush, the inventor of a cor6et, comes next, her date being Jnly 21, 1815. About every sixth woman inventor poses as the patentee of e corset. Next to corsetB in popularity come "curl retainers," crimping irons and the like. CosmeticB also play an important part, and bnstles are by nc means in the minority. Some of the articles invented are by no means what one might expect from women. Sucb for instance, aie a "smoke stack for locomotives," a "fence rail" and a "match and cigarette box." It is interesting to note thac a large propor* tion of the inventions scheduled in the nrst pampmet are merely improvements upon some article originally invented by man. But the appendix registers a different order of things. There the inventions are nearly all nol improvements, but the original articlet themselves. This shows the advance that has been made in woman's thought and action. Once she wbe content merely to improve upon what man had already devised; now she originates and devises for herself.?

DoaiceB are sometimes trimmed with a Mane Antoinette fichu, edged around with pinked-out inching. Bed is to be the dominating oolor in dress this winter, and there is red in our hats, red linings in oar dresses and wraps, and red gowns. Vests, boleros and blouses are extremely coquettish and elaborately trimmed, and so long as this remains in fashion skirts must be simple. Guipure epaulets are used to fall over either plain or fancy sleeves, and may be either composed entirely of ' the guipure or trimmed with lace. Batiste, lawn and organdie dresses , have yokes made of lace insertion and | puffings. These are trimmed around , the edgeB with ruffles of lace or white , chiffon. If only the belt or sash, collar and j bows to correspond, are well chosen, i and made up with taste and elegance, I the plainest dress can be converted into a toilet fit for any occasion. A pretty form of sleeve has a plain, tight sleeve a* a foundation, with over the shoulders a full width of the material, gathered into the armhole, and j formed into wings at the top. Skirts, for walking purposes, are made rather short, and with most of i their fullness still at the back. All ' attempts at tiimming are progressing ' Lut slowly?though progressing. i Tailor gowns of black ciolh, with bright colored boleros braided so closely with black that the color just shows through, are popular this 6ea- j son, and red is the favorite shade. Blouse bodices have plastrons, lace jabots, revers or the ordinary linen shirt front added as finish. They have 1 short, plain or undulating basques and sometimes corselettes of contrasting colors. The season's new faced oloths are very fine in texture, light in weight, and appear in handsome shades in green, blue, dahlia, dark Burgundy red, opal gray, fawn, and browns in- 1 numerable. Silk waists of spotted or flowered pattern have yokes made of ribbon and lace alternating. In one model the lace and ribbon are joined with a cord, and this is _drawn up so as to I produce tiny puffs, wmcn are very | pretty and effective. Printed China eilks are not in the , height of fashion, but they are very pretty tea gowns with a front of plaiD silk. They are reduced in price until in the large cities handBome patterns , and an excellent textare sell for fifty to 6eventy-five cents a yard. In the matter of sleeves, almost all of the new ones are tight to the shoul- j der, and there set off by some sort of oddment, according to the taste of the modiste. The monsquetaire sleeve is always snng, and wrinkled all its length, usually 6et off at the shoulder by a small puff, filled with curled hair, being lighter than cotton.
